Notice Regarding Pets at Festivals
Due to the requirements outlined in our Special Event Permit with the Town of Keystone and our agreement with Summit County Environmental Health, dogs or animals of any kind are not permitted at our large outdoor festivals.

These regulations are mandated by local government agencies and are not a decision made by Keystone Neighbourhood Company. The policy is in place to ensure the health and safety of both pets and event attendees. Festival environments can be crowded, noisy, and stressful for animals, making them unsuitable for pets.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a safe and enjoyable experience for all including our furry friends.  DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PET IN YOUR CAR AT THE PARKING LOT. LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL BE CALLED IF WE FIND A DOG IN A CAR.

Purchasing tickets in advance?

We recommend getting all tickets in advance.  We cannot guarantee inventory at the day of the event.

Festival Ticket Options

Whether you're here for the beer, the food, or just the music—we’ve got a ticket option for you.

Can I update my registration information?

Yes, you can update your registration information and tickets via Eventbrite.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

It is helpful, but you can also check in with your mobile device or under your name with a valid ID. We require that all members of the party be present at check-in so that we may check ID's to insure the individuals are 21 years and over who receive the ticket with alcohol. Tickets will not be issued to those individuals who are not present, you will need to come back with those guests to check them in so they can obtain their wristband and ticket.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

Yes, you will only be asked to show your ID, if you do not have either a printable ticket or mobile ticket. We do not match each ticket shown to an ID. We do ask that if you will be checking in with an ID and were the sole purchaser for your groups tickets, that you have your entire party with at check-in.
